Traveler Editor Kurt Repanshek Spurns Pulitzer, Goes into Hiding

Have you seen Kurt Repanshek? We need to talk to him.

This just in.

After being officially informed that he is a finalist for this year’s Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing, National Parks Traveler editor Kurt Repanshek shocked the Pulitzer committee by requesting that his name be immediately withdrawn from the competition.

Sources close to the Pulitzer committee have confided that Repanshek, who seemed “very agitated,” has admitted that nearly all of his published works in Traveler were either plagiarized or ghost written by Jim Burnett.

Repanshek has gone into hiding. He was last seen in the Virgin Islands in the company of a gorgeous babe that he claims to be his wife.

I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to write earlier today and congratulate you. My phone has been ringing off the hook since early this morning, when a phone call from Stockholm informed me that I have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. It's for working out a trail sharing plan for the national parks and Wilderness that traditionalists and mountain bike access advocates accepted within hours. Unfortunately, I can't disclose the details at this moment because there's one remaining negotiating point involving unicycles and Pogo sticks that's proving to be vexing and difficult.

Say what? Unicycles and pogo sticks again?! I thought we had already worked that one out.

It's the clowns. Behind that happy exterior lies a lot of muleheaded stubbornness.
